Mistura 2016
Peruvian Gastronomy Society (Apega) Executive Director Bernardo Roca Rey explained Mistura serves as "first stop for visitors," who later move on to other parts of the country to arrive in different tourist destinations.
The event will feature renowned chefs, who will represent exclusive Peruvian eateries offering their most delicious specialties to visitors.
Each dish will cost S/5.00 (about US$ 1.50).
"The special offer is called 5x5 given prices of dishes and the five-star restaurants offering them," Roca Rey affirmed.
